Protected methods in objective-c
I am a Java developer who is starting to have questions about Objective-C coding syntax.
As of right now, I only see +/- that denotes the Java public/private equivalents.
How would you implement a protected method in Objective-C?
+/- indicates whether a method is a class method or an instance method -- not whether it is public or private.
In short, you can't declare a method as protected in Objective-C. Essentially every method is public, although if you don't declare a method in the header file, it is, in effect, private.
